> Indeed, why I was just remarking to Wentworth over a mint julep on the verandah how I’d been meaning to get the roof over the conservatory fixed but what with the food shortages in Africa, I just don’t know when I’ll have the time to manage my problems relating to my prosperity and wealth compared to the majority of people living on earth.

Why, I am ever so shocked that Wentworth would be having mint juleps on the verandah, when he was _supposed_ to be playing doubles squash with myself and the Wakefields… no, no, not the Scranton Wakefields, they’re in the Marquesas for the season; the Stamford Wakefields.  
Oh, by the by, do be a dear and tell Wentworth that I’m defriending him, won’t you? Thanks ever so much! #firstworlddouchiness
